Bethesda has updated the Steam store page for Wolfenstein: Youngblood, confirming that this new shooter will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Bethesda has been known for releasing its games without Denuvo, so this really surprised us (and we are certain that its inclusion may disappoint a number of gamers).
It’s worth pointing out that the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech has not been cracked yet. Anno 1800 enjoys three months of being protected by it, whereas Mortal Kombat 11 and Total War Three Kingdoms enjoy two months and Octopath Traveller enjoys almost a month. Yes, this latest version of Denuvo will be, eventually, cracked, however it has certainly served its purpose for a few games.
It’s also worth mentioning that Bethesda has been known for removing the Denuvo anti-tamper tech the moment its games get cracked. After a backlash, the publisher removed Denuvo from RAGE 2 (especially since its Bethesda store version was Denuvo-free right from the get-go).
It will be interesting to see what will happen with Wolfenstein: Youngblood, whether its Bethesda store version will be also Denuvo-free, and whether cracking groups will use that version in order to crack the game.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood releases on July 26th and will be taking advantage of both real-time ray tracing and NVIDIA’s Adaptive Shading.
Stay tuned for more!

Wolf2 was step down, this time Wolf is Feministic Shooter with P2W system.
With REAL $$$ you buy in game currency, with that currency you can unlock upgrades in instant instead of regualar progression.
Of course to unlock everything for other character you need to buy them again or grind again.
Pathetic.
and ON TOP OF THAT, on top of being a coop shooter grindfest with microtransactions and no BJ, it also has a TON of cutscenes.
No thanks, i had my fun with amid evil, dusk, heddon, cant wait for doom eternal and ion maiden.
“Bethesda has been known for removing the Denuvo anti-tamper tech the moment its games get cracked.”
Do they automatically remove it from your currently installed game? Or do they just remove it from future installations?
On a different note the last Wolfenstein was upsetting because all the long drawn out cut scenes I couldnt get around. And when they came out with the first patch it reset everything to where I had to start over. And of course getting killed brought me way back to go through all those cut scenes again. I gave up after a few weeks of playing around with it (after release). Not sure it’s worth trying again (PC version).
They remove with a update, so when you update your game, it is removed.
on top of what the last game had such lazy level design as if it was made on doom snap map.

Not related with the current article, but so f**cking satisfying to read.
fck tim sweeney
I don’t want to.
you might have to, fck him till he gives up the games.
They seem to be putting a much better protection to prevent people from playing it. It seems they’re making it unfunny. A Wolfenstein game without BJ…. it better be very good.
If you like Antifa’s fight, them is a must have.
Bad news for pirates.
not really. seven trillion games to play. They will just play something else and wait a couple months for this game to get cracked.
do you ever say anything that’s not DUMB? How is Denuvo bad for pirates? Pirates are named pirates cause they will CRACK IT AND PLAY IT. SO how is it Bad for Pirates. ALL you do is Dumb Up this comment section. Denuvo is only bad news for the paying customer you Donkey…
Well if the game was good, pirates will probably miss out downloading day 1, but On the other hand, playing the game day 1 is almost always a bad deal, so back to square one i guess…
EXACTLY, because only an idiot plays a game day one or buys it day one. You are getting the crappiest version for day 1. I don’t know why anyone still does that. they just keep rewarding these companies for bad behavior.
NOOOO SO SAD, Pirates wont be playing this abonination to the franchise, same way they wont be playing flopout shtty six due to always online. Oh how they will ever recover.
Seems to me they dodged a bullet mate.
Really man? Denuvo has no teeth these days. /smh
“Bad news for pirates with bad taste”.
SJW cancer and Denuvo!

Might as well make it Epic store exclusive because no one would care.
Why…. seriosuly… just why.
Millions will buy this game. Less people will buy this game with Denuvo. The game WILL be cracked. People who are going to pirate this game are just going to wait. WTF is the point?
It is like smearing feces on your product.
“Millions will buy this game.”
press x to doubt.
Oh Bethesda… Must we do this again. You put it in, forget to release the exe with Denuvo or just crack it yourselves all together. And basically waste $200k on a product that you won’t even implement. Oh bethesda, must we do this song and dance YET AGAIn?…… Have we learned nothing from all the previous Denuvo titles you’ve released and failed at?…
what i worry about is how starfield will be, with denuvo and awlays online it will be unmoddable.
Dead on Arrival
And you’ll keep trolling
Get your head out of your a**
Get your head out of your a*s
“will sell millions ”
press x to doubt.
YAR YAR YAR YARR
poor pirates…
“It will be interesting to see what will happen with Wolfenstein: Youngblood, ”

metal gear survive was always online, konami spend time making a mmo server system for this DOA trash.
Not that Denuvo really even matters anymore, but I can honestly say that in this case, I really don’t give a s**t anyways. I wouldn’t touch this game with, or without it.
cool no problem https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/274c32e1677eca0296bcab6ac480e25e8f970ac264a6369a78706735bebd7987.gif

Like they care about all the little whiners opinions on here. It will still sell well no doubt, even some of the whiners will secretly buy it.
/shrug. My wife and I will still have fun playing it together.
Nice!
The pile of crap just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Pretty impressive that the latest Denuvo variation hasn’t been cracked for months.
But there was any worthy game to crack?
There’s F1 2019 wich was released just yesterday. Now we’ll see if this one can or not properly protect a game.
Wolfenstein: Menstrual Blood*
Gonna state an obviously unpopular opinion here but Honestly people b**ch about DRM and if you are buying the games…. Honestly what is the problem here? I have hundreds of games on Steam… Legal games with drm and I really don’t have a problem with any of them. Sure you bought it and feel like you shouldn’t feel like a prisoner…. But…. YOU BOUGHT IT!!! so whats the issue? The game is gonna launch and work fine. crying the drm might drop your game by 1-2fps? My games all work fine. It’s just a bullshit status to cry that something you paid for has drm? honestly…. This really seems to be more of Pirates acting high and mighty talking as if the DRM hurts their experience even tho they weren’t even going to buy the game. No problems here!!! Now come and attack me and get all butt hurt with threats and other bull sh*t…. BIG DEAL!!!! If you buy the game… Im sure the DRM isn’t going to hamper your enjoyment. If it does…. then don’t buy it if such petiful things ruin your day.
Does anyone know yet if the Bethesda Store version of Wolfenstein: Youngblood will also have Denuvo or not?
Because I got it for free with a NVidia RTX GPU and the code was for Bethesda Store. I anyway have issues with installing yet another launcher, but I for sure won’t install any Denuvo malware on that new machine, so it would be nice to know.
If there’s no Denuvo there I could perhaps bring myself to allow me installing that Bethesda Launcher, but if it has Denuvo there too, it’s another DOA.
